Nov 3, 2012 at 14:37 comment added Naga Venkata @Staats: I am expecting that the upper bound depend on the Hilbert polynomial of the curve, of course. There are as such no restrictions on $X$ but I am primarily interested in smooth surfaces.

Nov 1, 2012 at 18:25 comment added Charles Staats A couple questions: 1) Are there any restrictions on $X$? For instance, is $X$ allowed to be a union of $d$ 2-planes, or even an infinitesimal thickening of a single 2-plane? 2) For your question (1), are you looking for an upper bound that does not depend at all on the Hilbert polynomial $P$ of the curve? $$ $$ If the answers are "no" and "yes" respectively, then it seems clear that the answer to your question 1) is "no", since the dimension of the space of degree $e$ curves in a 2-plane goes to $\infty$ as $e \to \infty$.
